Abstract

Phosphorus-containing wholly aromatic thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP) reinforced poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) composites were prepared. Dynamic rheological analysis displayed that the addition of TLCP led to the decrease of the complex viscosity of PBT. While the thermal stability and tensile modulus were found to be increased distinctly, the results of dynamic mechanical analysis, isothermal crystallization, and morphological observation indicated that these changes were related to the rigid chains and in situ fibrillation of TLCP phase, and the interfacial adhesion between PBT and TLCP.
